原I'm a Katherine of Irish descent, and I absolutely adore this version of my name. I wish my mother had decided to use this as my birth name rather than the English version, as the rest of the women in my family have Irish names that reflect our heritage and I sometimes feel left out, although my nickname (Katie) helps a bit.
原Catriona, which is a variant of Caitríona, is a character in the book "Bad Blood" by Rhiannon Lassiter. Her nickname is Cat, and she is infuriated because her step-sister Katherine's nickname is also Kat. I think Caitríona is an interesting and exotic sounding equivalent to Katherine, which is classy, but overused. I like more now, because I read that it comes from the name Hekate, the Greek goddess of witchcraft, not some the Christian virtue ideal of "pure" i.e. chaste. Though it does remind of Caitríona Ruane, Minister for Education in Northern Ireland who is under a lot of scrutiny right now for abolishing the Eleven Plus exam. Though I think what she did was right, as it was a very unfair exam.

译 我是爱尔兰血统的凯瑟琳,我绝对喜欢这个版本的我的名字。我希望我的母亲决定使用这个作为我的出生名字,而不是英语版本,因为我的家庭中的其他妇女有爱尔兰的名字反映了我们的遗产,我有时觉得被遗忘,虽然我的昵称(凯蒂)帮助位。

译 我知道这个名字应该正确地被发音为卡特里娜,但发现错误的kah-tree-OH-na这么漂亮。

译 Catriona是Caitríona的变种,是Rhiannon Lassiter着作“Bad Blood”中的一个字符。她的昵称是猫,她是愤怒的,因为她的妹妹凯瑟琳的昵称也是卡特。我认为Caitríona是一个有趣和异国情调的听起来相当于凯瑟琳,这是优雅,但过度使用。我现在更喜欢更多,因为我读到它来自名字Hekate,希腊女神的巫术,而不是一些基督教美德理想的“纯粹”,即贞洁。虽然它提醒了CaitríonaRuane,北爱尔兰教育部长,现在正在进行大量的审查,以废除十一加考试。虽然我认为她做的是对的,因为这是一个非常不公平的考试。
